Debate and consensus is the point of the UN. However, the US continues to use its veto in the UNSC to block resolutions related to Israel... Consequences are indeed needed, but I wouldn't be quick to blame the UN as such.

I find most people assume the UN can do something. The UN is mostly just an international networking hub to further one's political or business ambitions. There's probably some negotiation for small foreign conflicts behind doors but for the most part these "debates" are just empty posturing.

And that’s exactly what I mean. These people can sit and say whatever the fuck they want, it doesn’t mean shit when you have no arm of action. Sure, they acknowledgement is okay, but that is the lowest hanging, bottom of the barrel fruit that exists.

Netanyahu is like a spoiled child who’s deliberately annoying the fuck out of EVERYONE, because he knows that there will be no serious consequences. Although Daddy US might pretend to scold him, ultimately, Daddy will give him as many bombs as he wants.

Perhaps someone should remind this clown that if not for the UN his country wouldn't have existed today.

I wonder if this is what it felt like watching the League of Nations Fall Apart.
